From the transcript
Mm-hmm. That's what started it. Um, it was started by a number of councilmen requesting that they hold their meetings here because it's really difficult to both hear and participate in meetings at the powerhouse that they have. So, um, it was— this resolution is an attempt to get them to please hold their meetings here so that they can be attended by more members of the public. And so this has come to the attention of the council, and, uh, this, uh, is so far our response because we've had, um, so far they have yet to hold any meetings here despite the simple requests.
